Links to instructions for installing TrueNAS with front panel display capability on some ReadyNAS
For those looking to install an alternate OS on their RN42x, 52x, or 62x unit, here is a link to some very good instructions on installing TrueNAS Scale: https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1o...
I saw this the other day, and wanted to try it on my RN428 running TrueNAS 25.10.5.
I do have a couple of questions on the install:
git clone https://github.com/riplatt/truenas-rn426-panel.git
cd truenas-rn426-panel
I have a RN428, and from what I've read, it has the same motherboard (and I think the same display). I don't need to change any parameters, correct?
sudo ./install.sh /mnt/<your-pool>/rn426-panel
Which is preferable, the boot pool, or the storage pool? I'm thinking the boot pool, but I wanted to make sure. Also, do you think this will persist across OS updates?
The 428 does have the same hardware as a 426, just two more SATA slots, so I'm sure it will work on one. As for your other questions, the person who wrote the code isn't a member of this forum. You can try him over at GitHub or Reddit. Or members of the TrueNAS community may be able to help you on the issues of which pool to use and persistence across any updates.
Thanks! I did drop the same question on the Git page for
truenas-rn426-panel a couple of days ago, but I have not heard back yet. I'm sure he's just busy, and I'm impatient... :D
I'll have to try him on reddit. I never logged into there before
